Preschool Step-Up!

Today was Gracie's End-fof-the-Year Program for her preschool. Her last day was supposed to be today but because of the blizzard, her last day will be on Tuesday. She joined with some of the other preschool classes in her program to sing songs, and recognize the 4-year old preschool graduation.

Here is Gracie with her class. I guess she felt like adjusting her dress.

Here she is again, getting ready to sing.

Then, all the 3 year olds got little certificates. Here is Gracie with hers. And here is a picture of the 4 year olds with their little caps getting ready to receive their little dipolmas. I have to tell you that I was crying and Gracie wasn't even "graduating" yet, just stepping up. I am going to be a mess next year. After the ceremony, we gave her teachers a hug and a gift. We are really going to miss Miss Darlene and Miss Deb. They were fabulous teachers and Gracie really liked them. When she plays school, she always calls herself Miss Deb. And here are the proud parents of a girl who successfully completed her first year of preschool! Really, where as the time gone? One more year of preschool and then off to Kindergarten. The elementary years will fly by. (My first class is now Seniors in high school!) Then before you know it, she'll be in high school and be valedictorian of the class of 2025! Afterwards, we went to Steak-n-Shake for some ice cream and cookies. Grandma and Grandpa came too. Presley especially liked the cardboard car. Here is Gracie receiving her certificate. Sorry it's sideways and I am bummed that I missed them saying her name. Oh well, Chuck taped it too!

Here is Gracie's class singing some songs.

This one is called "See you Later Alligator."



This is one she sang called "Tap Your Feet."

And this one everybody knows, "If You're Happy and You Know It."

I am so proud of my Gracie Girl. She also got her first report card today too! She is just growing so fast and will already be 4 in a month! But getting through the first year of preschool is a big accomplishment. There was a never a daythat she didn't want to go and always got excited about going. She made some friends that we will be having future playdates with too. Next year she will be in the 4 year old class and attend 3 days a week! I'm sure she'll love that too. I hear the teachers are wonderful too! Congrats Gracie Girl! Mommy is so proud of you! XOXOXO
